performs OK if executed in "my" environment and results in "Today is: fredag 16 november 2018 14:55:43", but moving it e.g. to DEVONthink scripting area (~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink Pro 2/Scripts) and activating it from within DEVONthink results in "Today is: Friday, 16 November 2018 at 14:57:04".

@jlfenaux@gul-iMac Alfred passes the date handling to macOS, and has no knowledge of the localised name for days. This is why you're seeing the same issue in DevonThink and TextExpander.

Could you please let me know which version of macOS you're using? This appears to be a bug in Mojave, as I can see the same issue (non-localised days) on our Mojave Mac but the days are localised as expected on an older OS.

I'm on 10.14.2 β3, but I believe its been like this at least on all 10.14 but I have had a mail-conversation with Smile that started Nov 11, 2017 and at that date I was on 10.13.2 β (17C67b) (identical problem with my TextExpander snippets).

I do recall that the behaviour was happening with the β-releases and eventually got fixed with the public-release. However, I'm almost sure it never worked on 10.14.

Until Apple fixes this, my Relative Dates workflow may be of some limited use. It has a snippet trigger and is locale aware (it's designed to let you use as many different date formats and locales as you want).
